Emmerdale actress Charley Webb is now officially on maternity leave, as she confirms she's finished filming on the ITV soap.
The actress, who plays Debbie Dingle in the ITV soap, marked the beginning of her break from work on Twitter, writing: "First day of maternity leave and the sun's shining. YES!
"I'll be found in the garden sunbathing (for about 20 seconds before one of the kids need me)."

Charley is currently expecting her third child with her partner and co-star Matthew Wolfenden (who plays David Metcalfe on the soap). Unfortunately, Charley's pregnancy has been a difficult one, with the actress revealing last month that she had been diagnosed with symphysis pubis dysfunction.
"It's when your muscles have relaxed too much ready for the birth. It's agony," she explained. "I'd be lying if I said I really enjoy the experience of getting bigger but I appreciate what my body is doing. I think pregnancy is amazing."
What to Read Next
Charley's husband Matthew also recently opened up about Charley's pregnancy, saying on Loose Women that it's been "particularly brutal" this time around.
"She's been ill from the get-go, and it's just not relented at all. She's been sick since we found out [she was pregnant], and she still is now," he said.
"We don't know if it's a boy or a girl. Everyone goes, 'Oh, you would love a girl obviously because you've got two boys', but – it's the old cliché – as long as they're healthy."
The actress also recently hit out at parenting critics, stating: "They're babies and then they're grown up, so much quicker than I ever thought was possible. Always do what is right for you and your kids. Not annoying people around you thinking they know best. They don't."
Emmerdale currently airs weekdays at 7pm on ITV, with an extra episode at 8pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
